I have played competitive chess for over 10 years.i think i know better?

1845 is my blitz fide rating.13+ is only allowed here.perhaps arent you afraid to reveal your age kid? lol 

Why I should leave this site? 

Chess is a good hobby, is a good game and a good way to exercise your brain. 

But to make chess your profession is kinda laughable and lame. At the end of the day it is nothing more than a simple board game. 

you have not dived deep into the deep vast ocean called "chess" or you would say otherewise

perhaps you ought to do something a teenager does

he is a teenager so everything he does is what a teenager does.

Jeez! that's something unheard of.Trolling in the forums is what a teenager does?

sorry if all this is a bit surreal. 

Trolling on the Internet is more normal than making chess your profession. 

Spending countless of hours studying chess, and years later teaching kids and writing blogs just to barely having something to eat. 

What kind of life is that? 

True story for most people who play professionally. I have read that "Grandmasters are just like artists. They sacrifice comfort for art". But GMs don't tell their problems to everyone, because they love their art i.e.chess. If word gets out that chess doesn't have enough money to sustain your belly, then people would begin to ditch professional chess and they begin to play chess as a hobby only. Then they wouldn't care if their rating is 2400,1200, 3000 or a million.

If a person is rated above 2800 then he has a luxurious life.

If above 2700 then he makes a decent living although it's never easy.

If above 2600(2600-2699) then it's really challenging and difficult. A 2600+ GM has to slug it out in open tournaments with people rated similarly. Good thing for these guys is that they get they ''Conditions'' to play tournaments and these ''Conditions'' include free accomodation,travel,food,etc.

2500s have very little chance to make good money.

Less than 2500 means nothing. More often than not these guys don't win enough money to travel back home. If they do win they get MEAGRE money.

But if you get invitations to play in closed round robin elite events then all the above doesn't apply, but still you have to MAINTAIN your rating. If you get invitations to play for clubs, then it's very good and you make additional money.

I have great respect for professional chess players. Of course 2500 is NOT EASY. Screw 2500, even 2400 is tough. In fact I dream of getting 2200,2300 rating. 

I have only read about all of this on the Internet so I am just telling you guys what I know. I don't want to give a depressing view of the situation but that's how the reality is.Although there are exceptions to this. Some coaches like Jeremy Silman,Dvoretsky,Yusupov are really popular coaches even though they are all less than 2600. I think one must contact Mr.Silman/Yusupov on how to make good money out of chess when rated <2600.

Screw all of what I have written above. Just remember this "Love what you do and do what you love". That's all I have to say.

"... Many aspiring young chess players dream of one day becoming a grandmaster and a professional. ... But ... a profession must bring in at least a certain regular income even if one is not too demanding. ... The usual prize money in Open tournaments is meagre. ... The higher the prizes, the greater the competition. ... With a possibly not very high and irregular income for several decades the amount of money one can save for old age remains really modest. ... Anyone who wants to reach his maximum must concentrate totally on chess. That involves important compromises with or giving up on his education. ... it is a question of personal life planning and when deciding it is necessary to be fully conscious of the various possibilities, limitations and risks. ... a future professional must really love chess and ... be prepared to work very hard for it. ... It is all too frequent that a wrong evaluation is made of what a talented player can achieve. ... Most players have the potential for a certain level; once they have reached it they can only make further progress with a great effort. ... anyone who is unlikely to attain a high playing strength should on no account turn professional. ... Anyone who does not meet these top criteria can only try to earn his living with public appearances, chess publishing or activity as a trainer. But there is a lack of offers and these are not particularly well paid. For jobs which involve appearing in public, moreover, certain non-chess qualities are required. ... a relevant 'stage presence' and required sociability. ... All these jobs and existences, moreover, have hanging above them the sword of Damocles of general economic conditions. ... around [age] 40 chess players ... find that their performances are noticeably tailing off. ..." - from a 12 page chapter on becoming a chess professional in the book, Luther's Chess Reformation by GM Thomas Luther (2016)

It might be quite a nice, deep life, if the person gets a lot of satisfaction from their studies, and enjoys sharing their experiences with other players. In chess there is always something new to learn, which is kind of amazing -- in that sense, it theoretically always stays fresh. But you have to consistently enjoy learning more about chess for it to be worth it, of course.

I would actually be quite proud to tell somebody that my profession was chess (though that will probably never happen). Of course, maybe they would think very little of me, who knows, but then, I have my opinion too, and I don't value it less than theirs. My guess is that some people would find it fascinating, others might scoff at it, others would be indifferent. But in the end, it doesn't really matter too much, because if you choose your profession based on what others think is respectable, you're not really living your own life at that point.

Seems like being a poker professional is hip, but people are much less open-minded when it comes to chess :)

being a bank robber is a very lucrative career, but deciding whether or not to choose that way of life may be worthwhile after considering what other people think.

I would grant that exception, sure :) Live your life freely, without hurting or infringing on the freedom of others. Have whatever hair color, nail color, you want for example, just don't hurt others in the process. Of course others are still free to like or dislike whatever hair color or nail color you choose.

As far as making money from chess goes, any money you got from it was because the source of that money wanted that money to go to you in some way or another. Robbing a bank doesn't involve such consent.

i have increased and decreased my rating for more than a week :)

You maybe right! they are not happy obviously. atleast chess players are not! one guy after missing a mating net against me once left the board and came back only after 15-20 freakin' minutes he never left the board before that. he had an unhappy expression on his face too (that game was later drawn-against a FM(2234 elo something)
